Hey everyone!
My name is Joost van Manen and I am the chair of BeeVee this year! I am 21 years old and I am in my first year of studying biology. I love being busy so I joined the amazing committee Gastro which has been really fun. I’m from (The better) Hengelo in Overijssel but luckily I found an apartment quite quickly.
In my free time I like to be outside, whether it is going for a run, going out in Nijmegen or playing flunkyball outside of huygens you can always find me somewhere outside.
As the chair it feels as if I have about 30 meetings every week but it is very fun to be involved in so many things.
For super serious inquiries you can always reach me at chair@beevee.nl!

Dear BeeVee’er,
My name is Esmee and somehow I became the secretary of BeeVee. I will introduce myself a little for you who do not know who I am.
I am a second year biologist and 22 years old, not because I did a different study before biology, but I took a two year gap year. Unfortunately all fun things come to an end, at least that is what I thought when I started studying. Then I discovered the magical world of BeeVee and got enchanted. From my intro parents I heard that there was a committee with only first years (FYC), which really spoke to me. I became a chair of that committee and the ball started rolling from then on. Later in the year I also joined ABO, which I am a bit less active in but still very much enjoy! In my second year I became the supervisor of the next years FYC, which is challenging, but really fun to show them the ins and outs of BeeVee.
In my free time when I am not at Huygens, I like to read, crochet and try to learn a bit of keyboard. I am quite busy though, so do not ask me to play a tune and expect something good ;). When the weather is nice I looove to go to the Waalbeach and suntan a bit, I think it is my favourite part of Nijmegen. I come from a tiny village in Brabant called Drunen, so the beach is almost unreachable.
And currently, like I said, I am the secretary of BeeVee. My job mostly entails minuting, administration and sending emails to people. Next to doing those tasks I am also supposed to be studying, but I have the feeling that I am not a good multitasker. However, going to activities and playing Flunkyball are very easy to combine with my tasks so maybe it is just the studying part that I have trouble with.
Even though I am a busy person, I am always available for questions or for a little chat. You can find me most days in the board rooms or in the canteen, and after four o’clock outside at Huygens for a little Flunky.
Or if it is really urgent you can always reach me at my email secretary@beevee.nl.
Xoxo
Esmee Blankers

Hello dearest BeeVee’ers,
I am Jari Siemons, I am 20 years old and I am the treasurer of BeeVee. My origins stem from a small village near Eindhoven called Nuenen, famous for van Gogh living there for a few years and nothing else. Luckily though I currently reside in the beautiful Nijmegen, and I am really enjoying my time here.
As the saying goes “Time flies when you are having fun”, and I couldn’t agree more, especially when I realize I am already in my third year of this study. It feels like yesterday when I got here as a tiny little sjaars but since then so much happened. I have started my journey into alcoholism, and I intend to rapidly speed this up during my board year.
In the study I am currently following the ecology trajectory and really enjoying learning about nature and the world around me. In my free time I also love walking around in nature and being a nerd about all the random animals I find, sadly my dogs are not in Nijmegen so I can only walk them in the weekends. Aside from that I also enjoy playing games, watching football and formula 1 and playing Flunkyball.
You can usually find me sitting in the board room or in one of the canteens, or at most activities (especially when alcohol is involved). When I am not in the board room I might be outside playing Flunkyball trying to represent BeeVee the best I can.
Love,
Jari Siemons

Hii everyone,
My name is Malai, I am 19 years old and a second year student. I am currently following the human biology trajectory. I will be the ces this year and am looking forward to being your board! If I am at uni you can probably find me in the LOS, board room or in Giga-Byte buying a kaasbroodje. When I’m not busy with school I like to hang out with friends and go out, or color and paint.
If you ever have a question you can always email me via ces@beevee.nl.

Hello!
My name is Fardo and I am the Commissioner of external relations this year! I just now moved to Nijmegen, so if you see me going out a lot, that's not me being an alcoholic, but just me checking out the new environment. I'm a pretty chill guy as far as I know so never be afraid to walk up to me if you wanna talk! Aside from being a board member this year, I am also a proud Vacoules member!
If you have any questions regarding BeeVee or so, you can reach me on cer@beevee.nl

Hii,
My name is Ania and I will be your lovely CIR this year. I’m 18 years old and a first-year biologist. As you might notice, I’m not Dutch, as I come from a country where vodka flows in the rivers instead of water. As you might have guessed (or not) the right answer is Poland.
Apart from drinking, of course, I enjoy going to BeeVee activities, photography, and music. Outside all of that, I’m also a member of BOS and FYC, yet I still somehow manage to find time to sleep (at least on some days).
If you ever have questions, you can probably see (and/or hear) me wandering around the corridors of Huygens. Also, feel free to send me an email at cir@beevee.nl.

Hi there!
My name is Wouter Hefti, and I’m thrilled to be your general board member this year! I’m 21 years old and a 2nd year Biology student following the Human trajectory. Besides trying (and occasionally failing) to keep up with my studies, you’ll often find me attending as many activities as possible. If I’m not out and about, you might spot me in the board room or at Giga Byte. And if not… well, I’m probably catching up on some much-needed sleep.
Feel free to reach out to me anytime at gbm@beevee.nl
